The Great Universal Land Grab: How Much Florida Does They Actually Own?
Ever felt like you're practically living in Diagon Alley these days? Universal Orlando sure is expanding faster than you can say "butterbeer," and it's got folks wondering: just how much of the Sunshine State do they actually own?
They've Built a Theme Park Empire (But Not Quite All of Florida)
Fear not, fellow Floridians, Universal isn't about to turn the entire state into a giant amusement park (although that would be an interesting commute). As of now, Universal Orlando Resort sits on a cool 541 acres – that's about the size of two and a half Disneys (don't tell Mickey!).
This land includes the three main parks (Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay), the sprawling Universal CityWalk entertainment complex, and a bunch of fancy hotels. But that's not all!
Universal's Land Hunger: A Neverending Story?
Universal seems to have a case of the munchies when it comes to real estate. There have been rumors swirling about them acquiring even more land, with some whispers suggesting a whopping 474 acres might be on the table. Now that's enough space for a whole new theme park dedicated entirely to... well, let's just say the Minions would have a field day.
But Wait, There's More! Universal's Epic Plans for the Future
Speaking of new theme parks, buckle up buttercup, because Universal's upcoming Epic Universe is set to open its doors in 2025. This mysterious project is shrouded in secrecy, but rumors suggest it'll be even bigger and badder than everything else they've got cookin'.
So, How Much Land Will Universal Own in Florida Eventually?
Honestly, your guess is as good as ours. Universal's got the ambition (and the checkbook) to keep expanding, so that 541 acres might just be the tip of the iceberg. But hey, more theme park rides and Universal-themed donuts? We're not complaining!
